Our observations indicate that the mechanical properties of protein binding sites have a decisive impact on determining the dimer stability…. Imagine that a ligand protein touches the surface of its receptor upon collision to find the right binding site…[full story […]

… We introduce a new method for predicting dissociation free energy of subunits by analyzing the structural and topological properties of a protein binding patch on a single subunit of the desired protein complex. The method needs the 3D structure […]
… We study the interactions of OmpF with pentameric poly-nucleotides (poly-Ns) in silico. The poly-N molecule is forced to translocate through the lumen of OmpF. Subsequently, the structural and dynamical effects of translocation steps on protein and poly-N molecules are […]
…. Two specific endoplasmic reticulum calcium channels, ryanodine receptors (RyRs) and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs) play an important role in Ca2+ regulation. In the present study, we provided a 3D structure of RyR and IP3R by homology modeling, and we […]
